WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has traveled to Capitol Hill as Democrats strain to rescue a scaled back version of his $3.5 trillion government overhaul and salvage a related public works bill. Biden is huddling privately with House Democrats. This after days of frantic negotiations with no deal. Biden is also planning to visit American cities next week to make his case, the White House says.

Joe Manchin of West Virginia wants to scale back the big bill to $1.5 trillion. That’s too meager for progressive lawmakers.
